Catastrophic

Catastrophic is a soul-crushing difficulty represented with the color white. It's the 4th and final soul-crushing difficulty, making it the game's hardest current difficulty. Obstacles in towers of this difficulty are even harder than ever, making towers extremely difficult and requiring a lot of skill and practice. One would rise to glory in trying to take their chance by attempting to beat the hardest and near death experience of what is considered to be the last achievement of their JToH career but as they progress, their heart rate would increase and descend into madness as nearly the entire tower is the near death experience for them. Currently, only 2 in-game towers are classified as Catastrophic, with 1 being deconfirmed by request from the creator.

Hence its original name, "Never Again,” one will likely not attempt to beat a tower of this difficulty again, having completed one of them. These towers are nearly impossible and often takes months of practice to pull off a Catastrophic tower completion. Whether low, mid or high, these towers require a lot of precision to do when beating/rebeating as they are absurdly long, extremely tedious, and very punishing in gameplay.

Catastrophic towers have a hint titled "SERIOUSLY, THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT FOR MOBILE," and have more hints than other soul-crushing towers but one would risk their life and try beat it on mobile to prove that it's legitimately possible to do. (Well, that didn’t age well.)

Trivia

 * This difficulty previously had the same win color as the default chat color (white), but it was darkened slightly to avoid fake win messages.


 * Tower of Astronomically Aimless Annoyances was initially classified as Catastrophic, but it was nerfed to Extreme. It became Zone 4's primary soul-crushing tower. The unnerfed place also got rebalanced.
 * If you would wish to play the unnerfed version of ToAAA, play it here.
 * Both Catastrophic towers were originally classified as Terrifying.
 * Horrific and Unreal were originally planned as the next difficulties, but they were removed from the game.  nil was also planned as the next hardest difficulty, but it was also removed on May 17th, 2020.
 * Tower of Getting Gnomed was the 4th tower to be Catastrophic difficulty, even though it was a joke.

Note
Thought I never address this but for any players comparing the following Catastrophic towers (including whitelisted or potentially added towers like ToCR or ToCP:R) to tiered obbies, here's one thing you need to know.

Tiered obbies and towers have no correlation. Rather, if a tower like for example unnerfed Tower of Elongated Runs is being compared to an obby like for example Shinku No Naraku, then you're definitely doing something wrong. Catastrophic doesn't have any tier nor does the following Catastrophic towers currently in-game. It simply acts as a difficulty to describe how absurdly hard it is to do a tower with jumps nearly borderline impossible to do for certain users.
